What Does It Mean?
SLIDE 4
Text #ICANN50
What is Universal Acceptance?
- Identifiers don’t always work where they are
supposed to work
- Names sometimes appear “broken” to users
- TLD name is too long, not recognized or “readable”
- Internationalized email names not accepted
- No more ‘false positive’ rejections

Why Talk About This (Now)?
- Changes are mounting
- 1980s-90s: stable list of familiar TLDs
- 2000/2003: longer TLDs (e.g. .info, .museum)
- 2010: IDN ccTLDs (e.g. .சீஙகபபர, 中国)
- 2012: Internationalized Email
- 2012: many new TLDs added frequently
- Poor assumptions built into legacy systems are
growing more noticeable

Scope
- Universal acceptance is concerned with eliminating
bugs or errors, that is, unintended name blocking
- Web browsers confuse new TLDs with search strings
- Software fails to display or read native scripts
- Internationalized email addresses not accepted

Why act?
- Enable more choice in TLDs
- Enable communities to interact in their desired
languages and scripts
- Enable growth of the Internet
